Things to do in Elba Island, Tuscany: The Best Sights & Landmarks

July 25, 2021 Jacquiline Darosa

Best known as the site of Napoleon’s exile, Elba’s long history stretches back to pre-Roman times, when it was settled by Ligures and then Etruscans. It’s Tuscany’s biggest island and Italy’s third-largest, offering a great mix of options both cultural (like hilltop towns and castles) and recreational (like hiking, biking, swimming, diving and beaching). There’s an airport at Marina di Campo, but most arrive by ferry from Piombino to Portoferraio (the biggest town), Rio Marina or Porto Azzurro.

Good hike despite the warm weather. The castle looks charming especially in late afternoon. Beautiful views from the top
